Ebon Might, Surrender to Madness and Breath of Sindragosa all have the same kind of Chase gameplay. Sure some adrenalin junkies might love that chase gameplay, but this will be the 2nd spec IN A ROW where that chase gameplay was being forced in as a mandatory play style. Can it please be an option.
It’d be so simple to do this. Just take the impending apocalypse talent and make it a choice node with soul glutton, but have soul glutton specify a fixed duration for meta like 15 seconds. Thats all that would need to be done and you’d have 2 disticly different playstyle that are mutually exclusive.
Ebon might doesn’t really count as “chase” gameplay when done correctly, btw. Once you have the stats you can maintain it at all times or very close. It doesn’t work like BoS…
Not exactly but close enough. Maybe in raid 90% uptime is doable but in dungeons no way. Point still hits. This is the 1st class introduced after game launch to have a tank and ranged dps spec (druid being the only other class) and the forced gameplay loop is absolutely vile for a not insignificant portion of the playerbase. There is a reason breath got hammered over and over by players.
I main aug, and I assure you close to 100% uptime is perfectly possible in dungeons…
Maybe with excellent gear. But that doesn’t detract from the point I’m making. Its not a gameplay loop for everyone and shouldn’t be mandatory
and my point is that isn’t a “chase” playstyle, it’s a maintenance playstyle. I know what you’re saying, and for me it’s hit or miss. I hate maintaining void form for as long as possible, but I actually kind of like BoS, but Ebon Might isn’t a chase playstyle.
For someone who cannot keep it up, it is a chase playstyle. If Ebon Might had a shorter CD or no CD then it wouldn’t be chase for some of us.
A chase playstyle is one about hitting a button for a long cooldown buff that you have to maintain for as long as possible only to do it again after 30 seconds or a minute.
Even if you can’t maintain ebon might for the whole duration unless you COMPLETELY messed your rotation up, you’re only ever going to need to wait like 8-10 seconds to reapply the buff…that isn’t how chase playstyles work…
Agree to disagree. This thread isn’t really about Ebon Might or Aug.
Okay, but I feel like it does make your argument even sillier if there’s only 2 “chase” specs in the entire game considering there’s 38 specs…
4 actually. And 3 of them are ranged.
that is literally the entire point of the spec
Its a singular style of play that many do not like. There is a reason so many people kept complaining about breath of Sindragosa.
then play a different spec!

Stop being a troll dude, there is a lot of room for multiple play styles. This is the point in time that the devs want feedback and ideas.
Why would more options be a terrible idea?
I’ve been looking forward to devourer since they announced it.
There’s a much more burst focused playstyle too that doesn’t play into the long metas. What you want already exists.

If you don’t like this type of playstyle, then this spec is not for you. It’s as simple as that, and that’s okay. We aren’t meant to enjoy everything.
